Report: Colts to sign WR Ryan Grant

With a massive need at wide receiver, the Indianapolis Colts will sign free agent Ryan Grant, according to NFL Network’s James Jones.

The Colts initially visited with Grant last week. There was an odd situation with Grant and the Ravens — the 27-year-old failed a physical with the team, nullifying a contract agreement he had in place, but then reportedly passed a physical when he met with the Colts.

With Donte Moncrief signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts didn’t have much behind T.Y. Hilton and Chester Rogers in the wide receiver room.

A fifth-round pick of the Washington Redskins in the 2014 NFL Draft, Grant is coming off his best season as a pro in 2017. He played all 16 games for the fourth consecutive season while recording 45 receptions for 574 yards and four touchdowns, all of which were career highs.

Grant originally had a four-year, $29 million deal in place with the Ravens, but because they failed him on his physical, he remained a free agent. The Colts likely won’t pay that much for him.
